Why No-Contract Gyms Make Sense
- Moving cities β no exit fee needed, just give notice
- Working holiday or short-term visa β can't commit to 12 months
- Testing a new routine β try without being locked in
- Seasonal training β want to join for summer only
- Financial uncertainty β can stop if needed without penalties
- Already tried and failed 12-month gym contracts β try short-term first
